UK Core Issue: How Do We Distribute Covid Vaccines?

Deciding who gets a Covid vaccine is extremely difficult. You are basically picking and choosing who has the possibility of getting infected or not. With limited resources, I would do a full assessment on the population to decide who gets to be vaccinated. This would assess all the patients’ medical conditions, medical histories, and family histories to see who is at a higher risk. For example, those who are immunocompromised would get a vaccine over someone who is not. This is because the person who is immunocompromised is at a greater risk in developing complications with the virus. I would also assess how many people in the county’s population wants to be vaccinated. Some may not, so that would automatically eliminate a number of people who would get the vaccine.
